SWNOVELS Chapter 259
Chapter 259: Ayla
“When did Alpha Kingston say he was bringing the other stone?” Sister Mona
asked as we waited in one of the rooms in the cellar for Theo.
“He'll be here two days before the solstice,” I informed her. “He didn't want to
return sooner in case it drew too much attention to him moving it. Besides, he
has things to take care of in his own pack. He was here too long.”
“And you're sure he still has it?” she asked.
She had been worried about Kingston's half of the Moonstone ever since he left.
I don't know what had changed but she seemed suspicious of something.
“You keep asking about Kingston and the stone,” I pointed out. “Why are you so
concerned he won't be here with it? He's one of our biggest supporters.”
“Is he?” she asked.
“Why are you asking?” I snipped, getting a little annoyed.
Seeing my change in attitude, Sister Mona sighed. “My apologies. I know you
and Alpha Kingston were close.”
“Yes, and he’s a good man,” I insisted. “He understands full well how important
this is. I know he will be here. What I don’t know is why you seem to think he
won't be.”
“It's not that I don’t believe he will bring it,” Sister Mora said. Her

brow furrowed as she searched for the words to explain. “Before he left, I felt a
dark cloud around him. Something changed. Something shifted with him and he
seemed conflicted.”
“He was upset that he was at a dead end with finding Grogan,” I said. “He’s one
of the main perpetrators of the Onyxcrown massacre. There's a lifelong vendetta
there. So it's no surprise he seemed upset.”
“I suppose you're right,” she said. “But I suppose this Grogan character is
another concern we should be worried about.”
“Yes, we are aware,” I said. “that's why Kingston is taking every precaution when
bringing the stone over. He will keep us and we will keep you informed
throughout the entire process. But it won't matter much if we don’t learn what it is
Theo and I are even supposed to do to get the stones back together.”
I was indicating the reason we were there. We were meant to be going over the
ritual so we would be prepared. We were just waiting on Theo to come back with
our half of the Moonstone. Which he walked in right at that minute carrying the
metal box that held the stone. He paused for a moment, feeling the slight tension
in the room.
“Everything okay?” he asked, eyeing me curiously.
“Everything is fine,” I said. “Just voicing some concerns about the ceremony and
upcoming move.”
“Ah, yes,” he replied. “We'll get all the logistics sorted out with the Moon Haven
move right after the ceremony. How do the rest of the sister's feel about rejoining
wolf society?”
His tone was cheerful as he sat next to me, giving me a kiss on the
temple. He had been in such a wonderful mood lately. It was hard not to adopt
the same excitement.

“They are quite pleased with the suggestion, actually,” she said with a bright
smile. “Most of them at least. They are all packing and preparing for the move as
we speak.”
“That's good to hear,” Theo replied. “Now, what are we supposed to be doing with
this thing on the solstice?”
Theo turned the key to the box and opened it up. Resting on a black velvet cu
shion inside was a red stone. It wasn't faceted like a gemstone but still
translucent. Almost like glass. However, it was more than evident that this stone
was far more than just simple glass. There was a feeling a sense of power that
radiated from it that was impossible to miss when standing close to it.
“We've designated the spot where you two will stand,” Sister Mina explained. “It
is important that you are outside in the open so that you are completely under the
eclipse. The ritual has to happen during the totality period. Luckily, that should
give us about and hour, so we have some wiggle room. The most important part
is that you perform the blood offering within that time.”
“Blood offering?” Theo repeated.
“The Moonstone was created using the blood of your ancestors,” Sister Mina
stated. “That is why your families have such a strong connection to it. It will take
both of your bloods to reconstitute it.”
“That's no big deal,” I replied. It wasn’t any different than what I had done for the
blood oath to the other pack leaders.
“That's it?" Theo asked. “That seems pretty easy considering how difficult it
seemed to pull it apart in the first place.”
“Well, the stone was meant to be one,” Sister Mona pointed out. “However, I fear
it does sound more simple than it may be in reality.

Theo and I looked at each other.
“But we heal too fast,” I said.
Sister Mona nodded. “Yes, a small dose of wolfsbane will be necessary to
counteract that.”
I fidgeted a little. “One problem with that,” I replied. “I'm immune to wolfsbane. It
won't have the same effect.”

Theo muttered something under his breath.
“What was that?"
“Mina said Lloyd killed himself using some kind of poison that Harry had
developed,” he explained. “It was some kind of wolfsbane hybrid. She said he
died of massive internal bleeding.”
“We don’t want that much of her blood, Alpha,” Sister Mona interjected.

“Yeah, he wouldn't have known there were two pieces that had to be united,” I
pointed out.
“Couldn't he?” Theo replied. “There was already so much he knew that
we had no idea about.”
He was right. It did make sense.
“Okay,” I agreed. “Let's check it out.”
